My sisters have left and taken all their great pictures with them. I took very few pictures when they were here because I was planning on uploading all their pictures before they left. However, they both have Sony cameras and their memory cards didn't work with my computer and they forgot their camera cords. Hopefully they remember to send me one or two (hint, hint). Since they left things have not slowed down at all. It's been busy, busy, busy.
Wednesday I had an interesting experience. One of our staff member's sister is quite ill. She's been ill for quite some time and last week she had to be hosptitalized. We've been visiting her regularly at the hospital and on Monday the doctor said that she needed to have three pints of blood. I agreed to go and give blood for her. It was quite the experience. We spent over one hour at the hospital waiting for them to figure out what exactly we had to do. Finally they took a sample of her blood and sent us downtown to the Red Cross. When we finally found Red Cross it went relatively quickly. We brought five people which was good because only three people were able to give. When we went to leave they told us they could only give us 2 pints of blood and we'd have to come back the next day for the last one because the hospital that she was in didn't have a place to keep the blood refridgerated. The whole experience taught me that I need to leave the school more often and see the rest of Haiti. I've lived here in total one year and three months and I still feel like a tourist staring at everything and fascinated by all the sites and sounds. I think every once in a while I should tag along with Randy and see what life is like outside the walls of our school. As for the girl in hospital, she's started to look better each time we see her, we pray that she will regain strength with time and return to good health.

So good to hear she's looking a bit better--I was wondering how she was. Was your blood a match for her?
As for the pics--you can always copy some from FB for your blog--should be easy enough. ;) But I haven't forgotten--I will try to send you all of my pics.
Amy, they wouldn't take my blood but thankfully all her brothers were able to give. You must have forgetten already how slow my internet is, there's no way I could download all your pics, I can't even look at them all on FB, it takes too long! I can always get them in January.
Kim all my pics are on a USB key that I will mail to you... Glad to hear she is doing better..been thinking about her and praying for her.....
Kim--I didn't mean copy all the FB pics--i thought you wanted one or maybe two for your blog--that should work eventually??
